If I'm Not Human, That Doesn't Mean I'm a Monster

Chapter 4

                We all got moving again for what seemed like miles. Something was wrong with Mitch and I knew it. Maybe because he healed my arm he was weak. Every few steps he would wince or limp. I fell behind to the back of the group. “Mitch, you okay?” I asked him loud enough just for us to hear.

                “Yeah I just need to get my energy up.” He said quite quiet. “Are you sure?” I asked. He nodded and went ahead in silence. After a few minutes we kept on walking until we heard shouting, “There they are!” We turned around and saw a guard.

                When I saw a guard I mumbled under my breath, “Crap.” We all ran because they were chasing us but it was hard because I tried my best not to trip or something like that.

                “Mitch, plan C!” Adam shouted. I nodded and we ran to the nearest shadow. “Everyone holding hands?” I asked. Bromance? “Uh-huh.” Ian said a little impatiently. I closed my eyes and imagined myself at the house. I soon felt the ground disappear but the surface soon changed.

                When I opened my eyes, we were in front of our house. “Yes home!” They shouted. I smiled but was soon completely tired and dizzy. I took one step but almost fell if Jerome didn’t catch me. “You okay?” he asked me. “Yeah, just tired.” I said. Like the person I am, well was, I fell asleep on the spot.
